The Majestic Himalayas of Uttarakhand, apart from offering divine landscapes also are abundant in Avian Beauty. Of the 1500+ species of birds found in the India Subcontinent, Uttarakhand is home to some 600+ of them.

You wake up to the calls of multitude of song birds which adorn the area, and as you walk through the Jungles, flocks of Kalij Pheasants and White-throated laughing thrushes meet and greet you with their presence.

About Creative Praveen

I am a highly passionate Nature and Wildlife Photographer specializing in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, India.I have been in love with the Himalayas ever since I was a child. I was an Engineer before, but the calling for Himalayas was so strong that I eventually quit my job and embarked on a journey to discover the Himalayas first-hand and am currently exploring the region. I am in love with the culture and beauty of the Mighty Himalayas and specialize in capturing the Majestic Landscapes and beautiful birds of the region. I am also fascinated with the night sky and capture a lot of Nightscapes. I love trekking to the remotest corners of the Himalayas, staying for days in remote villages and tents in the Wilderness for my shots. One of my images has been published in the highly Prestigious Magazine “ Nature’s best Photography” , I also conduct photography workshops and Expeditions exclusively in the Himalayas, I have conducted several Nature Photo walks over a period spanning two years exploring the wilderness around Mumbai. Currently staying in a small town in Srinagar, Uttarakhand I am constantly exploring the region for Biodiversity hotspots.
